Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil (Cocoa Butter Fragrance) 150ml

I don’t usually write reviews as long as this but this is such a great product I thought it warranted it.I have been using this for a long time and can’t rate it high enough. Having a medical condition that has resulted in multiple ops & so multiple scars plus 3 kids ( = the ‘joy’ of stretch marks) too: I was desperate for something to stop me looking like a map of the London Underground and this has been perfect.About the oilThe oil it’s self is lovely and light. The bottle is quite small but a little goes a long way - far more than standard base oils. Although I wish it was available in bigger sizes I get round this by Amazon’s multi buy deals as they come up.The aromas with this version is lovely and unlike most coconut based/scented products, it doesn’t leave you smelling like a ‘Bounty Bar’! There is a rose hip scented version too,although personally, i dislike it.It’s has a lovely feel to it & once on your skin it doesn’t make you feel like you have a smeared layer of lard over you (unlike many raw coconut or petroleum jelly based balms & oils)!!Your skin absorbs it so quickly and greedily you would think you have never moisturised it before! I believe there is another version specifically for facial use but used sparely, I have found this version excellent even on my face and would not buy another kind.I now use this oil at least twice a day, everyday, and not just for scars anymore ( see below)I find it works best immediately after a shower/wash on wet skin as seems to lock the water in.It’s UsesNB It’s doesn’t work miracles - don’t expect scars/marks to disappear!What it does it :-- make your skin supple , reduces redness and inflammation of causes , soothes soreness caused by anything from abrasions to excema.- Used on scars and stretch marks it reduced the severity of both & aids healing and impact of existing ones.- I used it before and after pregnancy which was relaxing and the babies enjoyed being massaged through my tum! I only discover it o on my 2nd pregnant and was I had know about it soon as it helped prevent stretch marks and really aided the ones that did occur, making them them feel and very quickly, look better (which has been commented on by friends)- When bread feeding, I used them on my breasts before , during & after and I believe it helped retain their shape and reduced the post breastfeed sag! I also found it helped prevent and/or soothe soreness at the beginning of breastfeeding, particularly if mixed with calandula cream between feeds.- NB Obviously please check with your l doctor or midwife that’s it’s safe for you as I am neither!As I have dry skin, I dab a very small amount over my makeup when finished which doesn’t effect cover . This gives me a slightly dewy look (as with dry skin matt products just make me look 5 years older.) It also stops makeup ‘clumping’ or flaking around dry areas around my nose. It’s incredibly light and doesn’t make your skin greasy at all. I use Dove ‘Derma Spa Summer Revived’ at night for a touch of colour ( which also helps covers scars) and using the oil on the morning brings out the glow nicely .Unusual uses !- I dye my hair and use this (mixed with a less expensive oil like almond or olive) combed through my hair the night before bleaching which stops breakage even though dye my hair platinum.- I also use it once a week a a treatment and after moisturising my body I used the film left on my hand by running it if my hair which stops it looking frizzy and shape gives texture likes light wax!- My medicine can cause my nails to become hard and my toenails were previously prone to slight fungal infection, leaving them looking slightly yellow. Both problems have been resolved by this as the oil is great rubbed in into cuticle and nails making them look healthy shiny. Once a week I add a couple of drops of tea tea oil to the oil in my hand, rub into my toenails which had stoped all traces of infectionSee what I mean? I could even write more but you have probably got the idea!

Good size bottle good price and it seems to be doing the job and a lovely smell Will definitely be buying again

Easy and pleasant to use and is the most effective for the very dry skin on my feet......added bonus is that it is easy to pull on my socks after applying it, not so with other creams or lotions!

I do like it, smells so good and improved my skin with more softness

I absolutely love this product. I have used it for 2 years now. I pump a small amount into my hand and rub all over my face, eyes etc and every bit of make up melts off into a brown black sludgy mess which i then am able to wipe away with a make up wipe without scrubbing my face (im really sensitive so this is a plus) i then give my face a quick wash and apply a little more to my now clean face and leave it over night.I have no dry patches, its so light, not oily or greasy.Also, marks i had from old spots etc have vanished and spots now dont leave any marks. A few wrinkles i had noticed are a lot less noticeable after 2 years of using, they should have gotten more wrinkly but they didnt. Under my eyes i was beginning to get a crepe paper effect that my foundation just sat in. This is now completely gone. I have much less wrinkles than friends who are the same age and i really believe it because of this product. I also use it on my legs after shaving so they dont get dry. Amazing product. smells a little like chocolate but not much and i dont really notice now ive been using it so long.I wouldnt put it on in the morning as i dont think my make up would stay on all day if i did but before bed is enough to wake up looking really fresh.

I had really bad stretch marks after pregnancy, and I've used this oil in combination with the Palmer's stretch mark cream, and it's worked wonders. My marks are barely visible anymore and I feel so much more confident. I have attached before and after photos

Been using it for sometime now and like the appearance of my skin it has been helpful in keeping my skin moisturise.I will definitely recommend.

I had long time been a dedicated user of bio oil for stretch marks but for summer I decided to try this out as it was supposedly a lot lighter and thinner. I was also curious about how it'd work on my face and neck, to plump up any wrinkles and combat acne scars without causing more acne. It totally works. I've been using it a few days now and I'm already seeing dramatic results. Firstly for stretch marks it's wonderful, you just squirt some into your hands and rub it in. It absorbs very quickly and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy. It fades redness really well and I think my stretch marks should be gone or at least significantly faded in a month or two. But the best thing about it is how multifunctional it is. I'm always quite cautious about putting oil on my face, espically during the day but it doesn't break me out, probably because it absorbs quite quickly (I recommend massaging it in to help it absorb). I can wear it under makeup as well, I basically just use it as a moisturiser. For fading acne scars it's AMAZING. I've seen a nearly 50% reduction in the severity of my scars. I also rub it on my chest, back and neck and they're more even in colour and less wrinkly. I won't be buying bio oil again, this is my new favourite.
